Memories of a visit to Glais Trotting Races 1923

In 1923 I was eight years old and living at Gwrach - y - Llwynau Farm, Trebanws. My father Esiah Lewis was chairman of Glais races and a steward of the Welsh Pony Races Association. There was always talk of Glais races in the farm house. 10 races a year were actually held. more.
